"Harping on common descent"?

Steve V has stated that I am "harping on common descent". He thinks this is some kind of tactic.

It is deceitful to present evidence of bacteria "evolving" into bacteria, trilobites "evolving" into trilobites, and finches "evolving" into finches when as evidence for evolution #6. Especially when we don't understand the mechanism(s) by which that "evolution" took/ takes place.

True we can pretty much say that nature selects for certain size beaks under specific environmental pressures. However the origin of the variation is a mystery, as is the origin of the finch. To clarify- was the variation part of a built-in response to environmental cues- or was it the result of undirected, random mutations?

The mutation rate of bacteria increases under certain pressures- is this a sign of cellular intelligence searching for a solution? Or is it blind chance?

As for the trilobite lineage- Using bones only I am sure we could construct a "lineage" from chihuahua to Great Dane.

So yes, I "harp" on common descent because objective people should. People interested in the reality to our existence should. I take it that is why evolutionists do not. Oh well...
